The Hope

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”1 Peter 3:15

What is the hope that we have within as a born again believer in Jesus Christ? This hope is not a “hoping so” like a child at Christmas hoping that he may get the wished for present. The hope of the Christian is an internal knowing of what God has promised shall come to pass. Hebrews 6:18 States, “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:.” What God has promised must come to pass because God can only speak truth. However, our hope goes further and deeper. Our hope is an anchor and it enters behind the veil into the presence of God. And who is that… that enters behind the veil? The great, all sufficient Son of God, Jesus Christ.
